Art Classes
Students can choose from a variety of art classes. In each class, the student chooses the subject from another painting, drawing, photograph or their own imagination. They draw (or trace) an outline of the subject on the canvas or silk. They will learn techniques for filling in their drawing with color, learning to blend, shade, highlight and create the illusion of texture.

Foundations in Drawing & Using Color (ages 11+)
This class focuses on the skills needed to draw anything that can be observed. We will be using Betty Edwards’ Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain for the beginning exercises and drawings in order to help students really draw what they see, instead of what they think they see. Next, we will explore gesture drawing (very quick sketching) and value(shading) before we go in-depth with color. There will be two extended color projects, one focused on portraiture and one focused on perspective. These projects will use such drawing media as chalk and oil pastels, crayon, and both regular and watercolor pencils.

Observational Drawing (ages 6-10)
This class focuses on the skills needed to draw anything that can be observed. We will be using Marvin Bartel’s book Drawing to Learn Drawing, which is especially designed to help younger students really draw what they see, instead of what they think they see. Like the older class, these students will learn how to find edges and trace them in the air and then trace them with their eyes as they transfer them to paper. First, there will be lots of practice of parts and then a complete drawing will be done. They will also learn some shading, action drawing, portrait drawing and using a view finder to compose a drawing among other skills.Drawing media will include pencils, chalk, crayons and oil pastels and possibly colored pencils.
